Hi everyone,

I'm a first time dog owner and have a 10-month old staffie named Indie  
She is lovely, kind and so playful; however her behaviour has started to change... barking at everything and nothing, she's reverted back to biting and I'm not sure what to do.

I take her out at least 4 times a day, twice being long walks lasting about an hour, where I am letting her off the lead so she can run free; so I don't believe it to be lack of exercise. She also has lots of toys, including Kong which she loves and runs about with.

Please help

Hi ther and welcome.

It sounds like she's become a teenager! Knows everything, listen to nothing & nobody understands her.

Go back to basics & reinforce all of the puppy training; it won't take so long this time because she already knows it all - she just needs reminding!

Believe me, they all go through this stage & come out the other end such lovely companions!

Hi from me & Katy, she's just turned 10 months but had here rebellious stage a little while ago. Caryll is right just remind her of her training & what you want from her & she will come through. Katy can still rebell & be a pain in the butt but on the whole she is fantastic. Keep on it she's worth it

Hello and welcome to the forum from me and the kids , definitely sounds like you have a teenager on your hands    I've had 2 just the first one was a great teenager and the 2nd was a nightmare but I got through , keep up with the training and the mental stimulation and you will come out of the other side in good shape

I feed both of ours Wainwrights from Pets at Home and can personally recommend it as a good medium range food
